What is the difference between a work permit and a visa?

Question

I received a job offer abroad and people keep mentioning both a work permit and a visa. Are these the same thing, or do I need to prepare separately for each one?

A work permit normally relates to authorization to work where required by the destination country. A visa relates to entry or stay authorization. They can be connected, but they are not the same document. Auranik can help organize document checklists and readiness review, while decisions remain with competent authorities.
